Comparing habits and customs from different societies

Reporter:
And you, George, how was your
childhood?
George:
The only thing I can tell you is that I
enjoyed my childhood; I used to read a lot, my
books were my best friends; and I could say
that my grandchildren love reading too. I usually
rode a horse every Sunday. My son doesn´t do
it anymore, he lives in London and he doesn´t
have a horse. I miss that!
Reporter:
Oh, sorry to hear that, George.
George:
Don’t worry; I have many other
activities like having a coffee with my friends,
walking through the park. You see, those things
seem to be very simple but they give me the
opportunity to be with my son and that makes
me very happy.
Let’s meet them!
Reporter:
Lupita, it is a pleasure to have you
with us. Tell us your story.
Lupita:
Thank you. Well, my parents and I lived
in a town near the river, so we used to eat Fsh
very often. My mother and I used to talk while she
was starting the Fre, I used to collect Frewood
from the forest and I really loved doing that, the
forest was amazing and very relaxing. I used
to sing “pirecuas”, songs. I didn’t have a great
voice, but still
I loved singing.
Nowadays, I enjoy singing a lot with my children
and grandchildren. My grandchildren don’t speak
my traditional language very well, so I have to
teach them through the songs.
Reporter:
Thank you very much to all of you. Now, it is time for you at home
to decide if you are still thinking that only Old times were better. See you next
program.
Now that you know the story, prepare a role play simulating the interview with the
elderly people. Make small groups and decide who will be the reporter and who will
be the elderly people. Use your imagination!
